Summary: Great movie!
Review: This one of those flicks that you never get tired of. Especially for anyone who has ever had to sit in a cube. It is a must see as far as comedies go. Disregard Mr. CaddyShack, if you understand modern humor you will be rolling during this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Only a peck of the Dragon
Review: Jet Li's Film 'Kiss of the Dragon' demonstrates why Hollywood Kung Fu movies always fall short. Compared to the work Li was doing while still in China before hitting big in America with his work in 'Lethal Weapon 4' this movie pales in comparison to his other films.

With poorly choreorgraphed action scenes mingled with incomplete action, which is I assume to make the view "fill in" the action for themselves as demonstrated by other more superior films in the past. This movie only makes the viewer confused and frustrated. Li plays a character who is unappealing to viewers. One finds themselves barely getting attatched to the character he plays on screen.

For a good Jet Li film, check out his other action films. Ones not tainted by Hollywood.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Flying fists in France
Review: Jet Li stars as a Chinese police officer sent to Paris to assist their authorities on breaking up a drug smuggling ring. Upon arrival he quickly finds himself "set up" by one very corrupt policeman. Throw in a prostitute with a "heart of gold" (Bridget Fonda) and you have all the ingredients, corny though some of them may be, for a terrific action film.
With Mr Li doing what he does best, without the aid of Industrial Light and Magic, aided and abbetted by a very sexy Miss Fonda the film is a treat for connoisseurs of the genre. The film is spoilt only by whoever it was decided to cut bits from specific fight scenes, making them appear jerky and slightly disjointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The way action movie should be
Review: Jet Lee stars in this action movie, which is done to a near perfection. It is directed the way an action film should be, exploding pace and great soundtrack throughout..
Buy it, its a must

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jet Li always keeps his promise
Review: The theme of the movie is worth seeing. He gives his words to a woman, and then he accomplishs it no matter how difficult it is. "He keeps his promise" - This is the value which we should cherish nowadays. The ultra violence may lead someone to resent the film. However, it demonstrates that Jet can achieve the highest level of martial art. He is fast, full of strength and highly concentrated and able to elminate the most awesome enemy.

I like the movie very much.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "THE" super hero
Review: This movies contains great marshal arts, the story was interesting and the ending was impressive.

This movie is worth seeing if you can accept the fiction of a super hero who can defeat everybody!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Foreign talent wasted in American film.
Review: All state side movies featuring excellent kung fu talent like Jet Li and Jackie Chan are slow and boring because in the U.S. there are no good martial art choreographers working in Hollywood. This movie is a case in point. The first fight scene with Jet Li does'nt happen til a good 20 minutes into the movie. And the rest of the picture you see Jet in slow, week, "American"(by which I mean explosions, bullets, and one or two punches) fight scenes that are a waste of his time. You dont believe me watch this movie, then compare it to some of his sweet over-sea pictures like "Legend" or "Legend of the Red Dragon" and you'll know what Im talking about. Dont buy or even rent this piece of garbage or, any of his state side films like "The One" which is just special effects (any fight movie is sad if you need computer special effects to make your kung fu look neat like Blade 2 with Wesley Snipes).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Quite Original
Review: Went in expecting to see the usual wire-work, bad lines and non-plots, well ... 2 out of 3 ain't bad. But still .. the main course of this movie is the fighting and that, no one can argue, is beyond anything we had seen in recent martial arts movies.The incredibly well choreographed and original fight sequences absolve this film of practically anything! A few memorable scenes are the fight with champion kickboxer Colin Prince to the background of Nerd's Lapdancer, and perhaps unintenionally comedic is the scene where our hero is beating up the French policemen with the Tricouleur (French flag), and his fight with the deadly twins. I loved the choice of music during most of the fight scenes, I thought the remix and choice of mystikal and Nerd to play during the main fight sequences really helped them. In all ... get the DVD ... bookmark the fight scenes .... and you'll have a great 20 min of intense martial arts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Movie is Worth Seeing A Thosand Times
Review: Kiss of the Draggon is one of the best films I have seen. It has an excelent soundtrack. Jet Li and Bridget Fonda present
some very talented acting skills. Kiss of the Dragon has action and romance. I don't see how this movie could better.I
recommend this film to anyone and everyone.I could watch this film over and over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jet Li at its best: Excellent Action Movie
Review: If you are looking for 90 minutes of action entertainment then watch this movie. I usually do not buy action movies involving Kung Fu, etc., but this one is an exception. It does have a story that is interesting with Jet Li being the ultimate hero.

I recommend this video highly.
